Leadership

Wesley is a graduate student in the Biophysics, Structural, and Computational Biology program. His current research is focused on increasing the sensitivity and resolution of single molecule biophysical experiments using quantum dots as probes.

Mary is an MPH student and a PhD candidate in the Immunology, Microbiology and Virology program. Her research studies how S. aureus colonization on the skin increases susceptibility to viral infections.

Rachel is currently a 4th year PhD candidate in the lab of Benoit Biteau working on post-embryonic morphogenesis of smooth muscle and the role of transcription factors during this process. She considers herself a ‘forever student,’ eager to both build on her academic foundations in genetic and cellular/developmental biology and motivate scientists to be involved with policy regardless of current role or career trajectory.
